You don’t take it out on the police. You don’t attack the police. You don’t intimidate the rest of the public.

I recognise the concern that many people in the public have around immigration. But this is something different.

Yes, I support the Union. Let me make that absolutely plain, I support the Union.

I don't think public opinion in Scotland supports that because there isn't a clearer consensus.

I don't think now is the time for another referendum.

I personally don't think it would be good for people here in the north of England – and we felt that at the time of the Scottish referendum – for that rupture to come across the Border.

Well, they have that right, it was determined, the future was determined, I would say for a generation.

As we go into the Labour conference, we will set out more thinking about the change that we need to see in the running of water across the country. But it is clear to me that what we’ve had in the last 30 years is nowhere near good enough…

You know, people want me, new in office, to be getting on with the job of delivering on the things that we’ve discussed, rather than putting self-serving politics before that, which was what I would be doing if I call an election. I’m not…

Well, yes, that’s when the next election will be. All of this speculation on an early election – I can knock that dead.

That's what I'm trying to do, and I hope to take it further in the coming period, rather than putting people back into an election cycle.

The focus is on that, helping people with the cost of living, helping businesses with the cost of running a business.

Not having a general election.

No election anytime soon. I'm focused on the job as prime minister, doing what I said I would do.

No, not particularly. No, I'm not.

I keep saying: ‘Nobody won’t know what I’m trying to do.’ People will know, you can make your judgment on whether it’s right or wrong. But people are going to know the direction I want to take this country in.

People are going to know the direction I want to take this country and I will set it down quite clearly.

I don't think it's fair for football fans to be singled out.

But I’m not going to back away from what’s been a long-held view of mine.

I don’t think it’s fair for football fans to be singled out in that way and I made that point.

I don't see how it can be fair that some supporters of one sport can be treated differently.

And I do believe there is a case to remove that discrimination.

I think that legislation dates to an era where football was very different.

I felt I owed it to the people, obviously in the Falklands, back at home, to make the position very clear, and that’s what I’ve done today.

We will defend the right of the Falkland Islanders to self-determination and to remain British.
